Because the file got a bit too heavy for me and my computer I made lots of save files during the work, that I figured I could use to show the process. Programs used are Paint Tool Sai, Photoshop and Google Sketchup.

This looks really amazing!You're a great artist for sure ^^Thank you for sharing these progress shots with us and giving us some insight in your way of working.That being said, this is a great inspiration to me There is only one part I don't fully understand.I am familiar with all 3 programs you mentioned (though rather photoshop elements then CS) but how did you use 'google sketchup' for this one?It's mostly used for rendering 3D sketches of buildings right?

Anyway thanks for sharing ^^ and if you don't get round to replying to my question is totally fineEnjoy your well deserved DD ^^
